How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very! Wishing you a restful & peaceful end to this exhausting year of beautiful Resistance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #Resist

It is likely that 2025 will be the warmest year on record for the UK. Why does this matter? Burning fossil fuels is warming the planet, including the UK, causing heatwaves to get hotter. For Central England this is happening 2x faster than the mean change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Seasonally themed Nottingham meet up with @thegreenrunners.bsky.social this morning

📣ANNOUNCEMENT📣 The Champion For Earth 2025 is... 💚🏅🌍Héctor Bellerín 💚🏅🌍 We are honoured to recognise Héctor, a Spanish footballer playing for Real Betis, who has demonstrated the courageous use of his platform this year. Solidarité

Green Runner Damian Hall @ultradamo.bsky.social was one of more than 1,200 people who met at Westminster Central Hall for the 1st National Emergency Briefing on Climate and Nature. UK Parliament’s Energy Security & Net Zero Committee is inviting written evidence from organisations & the public.

Recommended pre-AFCON viewing! #AFCON

You are not going to believe this but: ExxonMobil is lying! "We are seeing an example of the great greenwashing that [carbon capture] is, and people jumping on that bandwagon.”

This year I’ve continued to explore the 20x20km map centred on my home, taking inspiration from “Local” by @alastairhumphreys.bsky.social I retraced paths well trod in 2024 & found new places to explore. All while keeping it local in keeping with @thegreenrunners.bsky.social #HowWeMove pillar.

#HowWeSpeakOut - one of Green Runners’ pillars.

A positive message to end the week - most economies can now decouple growth from carbon emissions. Meaning we can create a better world for all without the harmful emissions of the old systems. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

That is definitely worth a look. Reducing waste is better for the planet. Reducing plastic waste even more so. #HowWeFuel

1/4 This year, you ran with purpose. The Green Runners Wrapped is here to celebrate the incredible, collective impact of our community. From all corners of the world, you proved that running can be a force for positive change. We are so proud to be your clubmate and part of this movement.

Single use metallised plastic gel packs are an environmentaI nightmare. I backed Dirtbags - reusable Carry System for Fuel, Gear & Adventures on Kickstarter @news4tri.com @thegreenrunners.bsky.social #cycling #running #triathlon #GreenSky www.kickstarter.com/projects/for...

Carbon Capture is not only a “fig leaf” for the fossil fuel industry. It’s also an idea that isn’t worth pursuing. Dr. Jonathan Foley explains why. drawdown.org/news/insight... a thread

Heard airlines touting 'bio fuel' as the solution? In order to scale it, we’d need to cover the land that we *currently use for food* in biofuel crops. One day the penny will drop: we can't magic away our impact on the planet. We have to reduce flying and reduce consumption now.

"Shell is responsible for 2% of historical global greenhouse gases.... The company has "materially contributed" to human driven climate change, the letter says, that made the Typhoon more likely and more severe."

Down to the sea - always enjoy my run along Route 2 to Exmouth before work. Run there, train back. #Training I really need to get a better grip with #ClimateChange though. Need to dress for the weather not the season. Should have put on t-shirt & shorts, not long sleeved top & windproof layer.

1/3 - Green Runners Nottingham local meet-up! Members & friends are invited to a pre-Christmas meet-up on 20 Dec @ Forest Rec parkrun. Meet outside the Homemade cafe at 08:45hrs (look for The Green Runners badges) & again after the parkrun for some post run coffee and chatter ☕️

Each year, human ingenuity cures some of the world’s most deadly diseases. 🧪 Yet when science tells us to stop polluting the planet, we continue to promote the industries responsible. 🤔 'We can', a new pamphlet by the Ministry for the Climate Emergency. 👉 www.badverts.org/campaign-upd... 1/2

Throw back to almost a year ago as we head towards another winter #SpineRace So much work to do before we gather in Edale! 🙈

1/3 The Green Runners welcomes Amie from Thorne Twilight Trotters for today’s Badge Bimble. Amie's group hosted a Run N' Rave night combined with a community kit swap & share, aligned with our #HowWeKitUp pillar. #Running thegreenrunners.com/running-kit-...

Another fab morning with fellow @thegreenrunners.bsky.social Caren and Jon. Only my third run since finishing Dragon's Back Race, and I felt the lack of fitness. However, Bestwood Village parkrun is a fantastic course and I love nothing more than splashing through muddy puddles. #TheGreenRunners

Heavy rain didn't dampen the mood at our Nottingham local meet-up this morning with Caren, Jon & Kev visiting Bestwood Village #parkrun. 🌳 Our trio travelled sustainably by foot, train & tram. #HowWeMove They enjoyed a 5k run 🏃‍♀️ around the country park followed by a warming cuppa in the café. ☕️

Just added a paragraph on clothes made from bioplastics (Lyocell, Tencel etc) to my blogpost, "How To Be A Green Triathlete." #triathlon #running #cycling #swimming #GreenSky irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2023/02/16/h...

1/3 Our next Nottingham-meet-up Venue: Bestwood Village parkrun Date: 29/11 Meet: 08:45 next to Dynamo House. Look out for Kev & his Green Runners badges. Run or walk parkrun at your own pace. 🏃‍♀️ We plan to litter pick 🗑 after the run, then refreshments in Dynamo House café. 🫖☕️

Scientists have linked rising heat directly to emissions from companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Saudi Aramco. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/11/this...

Let’s try to be thankful beyond one day and not go buying stuff that won’t make us happy.

1/3 Join us at The Cardiff Running Show this Sunday (30/11/25). Elis will host a short talk on positive changes we can make today to become greener runners and tread a little lighter on the planet. #CardiffRunningShow

1/2 It’s Black Friday again, but does buying more stuff really make us happier? 🤔 Science suggests not. ❌ We need to focus on wellbeing, not just economic growth (GDP). Let's enjoy a #GreenFriday. Read our latest blog post: bit.ly/3Xn7wbr

James Dyke, a climate scientist at the University of Exeter, said: “Despite the host’s best efforts, Cop30 will not even be able to get nations to agree to fossil fuel phase-out. This shameful outcome is the result of narrow self-interest and cynical politicking.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is your one week reminder for the next Nottingham Local Meet Up. #TheGreenRunners

If you wanna do super unpopular things, such as blocking climate action, you better buy some soft power. This is a big part of the story of Saudi’s role in football.

1/3 Local Meet Ups are growing We’ve loved seeing you proudly displaying your green badges this year, but we know many have been searching for real, in-person connections. Making a difference is always easier and more fun when you run with supportive clubmates.

Here’s some action worth taking. #HowWeSpeakOut

This week, we’ve taken over the ad space of London's Southwark tube station. Right next to Transport for London's head office, we are calling on Sadiq Khan to stop allowing polluting industries to promote their damaging products. 🧵 1/6

“Either we decide to change by choice, together, or change will be imposed by tragedy. We can change. But we must do it together” — Andre Correa do Lago, #COP30 president, in a letter to negotiators at the start of the UN meeting HT @coveringclimatenow.org

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C? Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-shrink...

Who are The Green Runners? Thanks to Sports England for featuring our Nottingham local meet up crew in this short film. Our members share their individual pledges aligned to our four pillars and explain what it means to run green. #HowWeSpeakOut #Running #ClimateChange vimeo.com/1111780606/9...

Last month Darren, Laura, Paola & Elis represented The Green Runners at the Blue Earth Summit. We experienced three incredible days of connection, networking, and spreading the word. We're so proud to have led riverside runs and built many new friendships! thegreenrunners.com/green-runner...

This autumn, 8 of the UK’s leading climate change experts will brief an invite-only audience of politicians & leaders. Check to see if your MP has responded to the invitation. If they’ve not responded then this website makes it easy to give them a nudge. #HowWeSpeakOut www.nebriefing.org

We stand with @badvertising.bsky.social and want to see an end to high carbon polluting advertising. We campaign against #SportsWashing and love this campaign to put an end to high carbon polluting advertising on the TfL sites. #HowWeSpeakOut actionnetwork.org/letters/time...

Great to see our badges out in the wild.

1/3 Bristol, lace up! The Green Runners are announcing the launch of our new Local Meet Up (LMU). We are building a community for runners focused on climate action and #HowWeMove sustainably. If you are a TGR member, check your email next week for your invite link.

1/3 Our next Nottingham-meet-up Venue: Bestwood Village parkrun Date: 29/11 Meet: 08:45 next to Dynamo House. Look out for Kev & his Green Runners badges. Run or walk parkrun at your own pace. 🏃‍♀️ We plan to litter pick 🗑 after the run, then refreshments in Dynamo House café. 🫖☕️

Have you ever used one of those calculators that tell you how much CO2 🔥 you'll generate flying 🛩️ somewhere? 🧪 Well, the bad news is that existing flight calculators wildly underestimate the true impact, according to a team at @uniofsurrey.bsky.social www.newscientist.com/article/2502...

1/3 We are celebrating member Hannah Cox's epic Project Salt Run; 100 marathons in 100 days across India. Hannah, a purpose-led entrepreneur, is running the 4,030+ km route of the forgotten Inland Customs Line, a colonial boundary that enforced a devastating salt tax.

Love this. Great to see athletes speaking out and adding their names to the Fossil Free Declaration. #HowWeSpeakOut

Why was Hurricane Melissa so powerful? And did climate change play a role? Renowned climate scientist @katharinehayhoe.com separates fact from fiction. #ThisIsClimateChange
